Blackheath And Elthamian’s Women’s 4th X1 V Brom Beccs

College Meadow at near sunset with Brom Beccs lined up to take the win home to Brom or Beccs, rumbled with expectation. The field of human conflict came alive with the whistle, and soon players were being used up and then spat out by some tough, stick-on-stick, stick to fingers, ball to chin, body, legs, combat. BBs played a very fast and furious game, rotating their spent souls at will. BEs kept theirs on pitch and wrung out every dreg. Much was done by all for a long time, and yet BEs could manage but a much-welcomed, solitary goal by Lula. The moment to double this from a penalty flick passed by, and soon BBs equalised. So few goals after so much engagement, it seemed. But BEs were steadfast, fluid, cool-headed under fire. Their perseverance was rewarded by a draw that felt like a win.
Wally of the Match went to Charlotte for a swipe, spin and stick fling. Player of the Match went to Aoife, who attacked, defended and supported heroically.
Blackheath score 1-1.
